[A descendant of the prairie who disguises herself as a man × a young lady from the south of the Yangtze River who is physically disabled and strong-willed]
The biggest lie I have ever told in my life was that I fell in love with her as a man.
The most painful thing I experienced was being rejected by her as a woman.
------
Lin Yan passed away as the only daughter in the martial arts field of the Southern Song Dynasty. After her family was brutally wiped out, she learned that she was an orphan in Mobei;
On her way north to find her roots, she picked up a beauty who had escaped from marriage with a disabled right leg;
And... I don't know when, but I can't look away anymore;
"Do you want to follow me? I will take you back to the grassland and look after the cattle, sheep and horses for the rest of your life."
From now on, he is no longer afraid of strong winds and sands, and survives as a nomad in the vast desert;
Until that night when the river lights were swaying, she stuffed the rouge box into my palm, her voice trembling:
"Song Linyan, it would be great if you were really a man..."
The light in her eyes dimmed inch by inch, like the extinguished sparks in Jiangnan.
In the wind and sand of the desert, we slept under the same felt tent and drank from the same bag of kumiss.
She gradually learned to harness horses and slaughter sheep, and her back was straighter than Populus euphratica.
But he no longer smiled at me.
When the Mongolian cavalry went south, I put on my armor.
It's not for fame, it's just that I don't know how to face it——
The girl who once embroidered amulets for me now looks at me like a stranger.
After three years on the battlefield, arrows hurt his bones.
I dragged my remaining body back to the grassland, only to see her standing at the end of the setting sun, her red dress burning like fire.
"Coward." She called me softly, raising the riding crop in her hand and blocking my way.
"When do you plan to marry me?"
------
From the misty rainy south of the Yangtze River to the vast desert north, there are clouds and moon along the three thousand miles.
In troubled times, how can two women stay together for a lifetime?
"The cage in the south of the Yangtze River cannot hold us in, and the wind and sand in the Mobei cannot blow us away."
"My name is Song Linyan, a lone wolf from Mobei who grew up in a martial arts field in the south of the Yangtze River."
"My name is Jiang Yunmiao, the broken-winged bird that escaped from the golden cage."
She said she would take me back to the grassland to get married...
Under the stars, by the campfire, with heaven and earth as evidence.
